A week into the search, three sculptures were found at the bottom of the canal, prompting Durbé to announce they were Modigliani originals, a declaration that attracted hundreds of visitors to the city.But art historian Federico Zeri cast doubt on their authenticity, saying they were so “immature” that Modigliani had been right to cast them aside.The three students later confessed to producing one of them with a Black & Decker drill, while the other two were made by a local artist.
